FIELD

The present invention belongs to the flied of thermodynamics, refrigeration and heat pump.

BACKGROUND

Cold demand, heat demand and power demand are common in human life and production. Among them, the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy is an important way to realize refrigeration and heating. Generally, the temperature of the refrigerated medium changes during the refrigeration process, and the temperature of the heated medium also changes during the heating process. When using mechanical energy for heating, the heated medium often has the dual characteristics of variable temperature and high temperature at the same time, which makes the performance unsatisfactory when only using one single thermodynamic cycle to realize refrigeration or heating. The problems include the unreasonable coefficient of performance, low heating parameters, high pressure ratio and high operating pressure.

From the perspective of basic theory, there have been significant deficiencies for a long time: (1) In the vapor compression refrigeration/heat pump cycles based on the reversed Rankine cycle, the heat releasing process is usually a condensation process (isothermal or near-isothermal), which leads to a large loss of temperature difference between the working medium and the heated medium. Meanwhile, the depressurization process of the condensate has a large loss (or a high utilization cost). When the supercritical working condition is adopted, the compression ratio is high, which makes the manufacturing cost of the compressor high and the safety reduced. (2) In the gas compression refrigeration/heat pump cycles based on the reversed Brayton cycle, the required compression ratio is low, which limits the improvement of heating parameters. Meanwhile, the temperature changes a lot in the low-temperature process, which leads to a large temperature difference loss in the low-temperature process when heating or cooling, and thus the coefficient of performance is not satisfactory.

In the basic theoretical system of thermal science, the establishment, development and application of thermodynamic cycles will play an important role in the leap of energy utilization and actively promote the social progress and the productivity development. Reversed thermodynamic cycles (i.e., refrigeration/heat pump cycles) are the theoretical basis of mechanical-energy-driven refrigeration or heating devices, and they are also the core of the corresponding energy utilization systems. Aiming at the long-standing problems, starting from the principle of simply, actively and efficiently using the mechanical energy for refrigeration or heating, striving to provide the basic theoretical support for the simplicity, initiative and efficiency of refrigeration or heat pump device, the present invention proposes a reversed single-working-medium vapor combined cycle.
